2 bedrooms historic apartment, 106 m²

Atina, Frosinone (province)

The charm of 19th-century architecture, with open views across the Comino Valley and the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park. Set within a 19th-century building, this beautiful apartment of over 100 sqm occupies the raised first floor and benefits from its own independent entrance. It is ideal for those seeking a home with authentic character, rich architectural details and exciting potential for personalisation. The property retains a number of remarkable original features, beginning with its imposing historic walls, over one metre thick, which frame large windows set within deep recesses, creating striking plays of light and architectural volume. The high ceilings further enhance the sense of space and individuality throughout. The entrance opens into a small hallway overlooking the spacious eat-in kitchen. Built in masonry and finished in marble, the kitchen is welcoming and well laid out, with a French door leading onto the balcony. Running along the façade, the balcony also provides external access from the living room, offering approximately 8 sqm of outdoor space and a pleasant connection with the surrounding landscape. Both the living room and the principal bedroom benefit from dual aspect, excellent natural light and open views across the valley. The two rooms are currently separated by a small partition wall and have ceiling heights of approximately 3.70 metres, following the installation of a suspended ceiling designed to improve thermal comfort. Originally, these rooms formed one large space of approximately 40 sqm, with ceilings reaching 5 metres, five windows and a triple aspect. This original layout suggests interesting possibilities for reimagining the interior, subject to verification of the relevant planning and building permissions. Another distinctive feature is the second bedroom, measuring approximately 22 sqm, situated on a mezzanine level above the kitchen and bathroom. The mezzanine is duly recorded in the cadastral records and is accessed via an attractive stone staircase. Alternatively, this room could serve as a study, hobby room or dedicated home-working space. The property is completed by a renovated bathroom with a window, fitted with both a shower and a bathtub, and a practical storage room. The chequerboard flooring, reminiscent of the traditional cement tiles found in historic local palazzi, runs throughout the apartment, creating visual continuity and timeless elegance. It lends itself equally well to classic furnishings or a contemporary interior design scheme. The apartment has been fully renovated and is offered unfurnished, giving the new owner complete freedom to furnish and personalise the interiors to suit their own taste. The independent entrance is reached via a short flight of external steps on the eastern side of the building, ensuring privacy and autonomy. Parking is also available directly outside the property. A home of authentic character, ideal as a permanent residence, holiday home or property investment, with the option of considering its potential as a rental property. An opportunity for those looking for something different: not simply a home, but a space rich in history, natural light and potential, set within an exceptionally attractive landscape. The charming village of Atina captivates visitors with its enchanting historic centre, historic palazzi, food and wine traditions, and beautiful scenery stretching across the surrounding hills and mountains. It is an ideal location for those wishing to experience the authentic charm of Italian village life, immersed in the natural beauty of the delightful Comino Valley without sacrificing accessibility. The Cassino exit of the A1 motorway and the railway station are approximately 20 km away, while Rome can be reached in around 1 hour and 45 minutes by car and Naples in approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
